Knobbe Martens Olson & Bear LLP has been recognized as the Top Patent Prosecution Firm in the United States and Top IP Specialty Firm in the United States by Managing Intellectual Property (MIP). The firm also won an award for being the Best Patent Prosecution Firm in the West.
The awards were presented at the publication’s annual North America Awards Dinner, held on March 25 at the Willard InterContinental in Washington D.C. The North America Awards recognize the top intellectual property law firms in the United States and Canada, by region. The selection process is based on extensive research compiled by teams in London, Hong Kong and New York for MIP’s annual Patent Survey, honoring firms which have had particularly successful years.
“This is a great accomplishment for the firm,” said Mauricio Uribe, a partner in Knobbe Martens’ Seattle office who attended the awards event. “It is a pleasure to be recognized by such a prestigious publication for the great results we achieve for our clients.”
Earlier this year, the firm was ranked in the top national tiers for trademark prosecution and trademark contentious work by MIP magazine in the publication’s international Trademark survey. In the patent portion of the survey, published in February, Knobbe Martens was recognized in all three categories: patent prosecution, patent contentious work and national bio life sciences practice. The firm has consistently been ranked in the top tiers for both their trademark and patent work since the inception of the survey in 1996.
